PRAVARA
RURAL ENGINEERING COLLEGE, LONI
The
establishment of Pravara Rural Engineering College on 21st
August 1983 symbolizes the plateau of achievement of academic
excellence in dissemination of quality technical education
by Pravara Rural Education Society.
The infrastructural
facilities of the College are spread over 63 hectares of
land on two campuses, one in north and one in south of Ahmednagar-Nasik
State Highway giving ample scope for future expansion. The
College has earned for itself a very good reputation for
probity in administration and excellence in academic instruction.
It is the
vision of Pravara Rural Engineering College not only to
pursue quality education but also to culturally enrich and
elevate the life of student community. The college is better
known through the students and staff, over the length and
breadth of India for its academic excellence and infrastructural
facilities. This resulted in students from different states
of India opting for admission at Pravara Rural Engineering
College. The college has a large number of girl students
which form 25% of the total strength, perhaps the highest
amongst the colleges in the state of Maharashtra. The institute
is justifiably proud of the state of discipline amongst
the students and staff and it is the major strength of this
College. It is pertinent to mention that the parents have
extended their whole hearted cooperation in the maintenance
of discipline.

i.e. Civil, Chemical, Computer, Electronics, Electronics
and Telecommunication, Instrumentation, Mechanical Engineering
& Information Technology. It conducts courses leading

permitted to start P.G. Courses (18 intake) in Civil Engineering
(Structural Engineering) and Mechanical Engineering (Design
Engineering) by A.I.C.T. University of Pune and Government
of Maharashtra, a clear recognition of strong base both
under infrastructure and academic merit. M.E.Course in Instrumentation
Engineering has been approved, and the same has started
from the academic year 2002-2003. In addition M.E.Courses
in other branches are likely to follow soon. The College
has been adjudged "A" grade College which is the
top most grade, by the Government of Maharashtra ;:md it
